Abstract

Using the subtraction approach, we give the bipartite mixed state entanglement entropy in thermal $\text{CFT}_2$. With these entanglement entropies, we examine in detail the holographic duals of different entangling configurations unambiguously. In the thermofield double state, we show a horizon-crossing feature in two-sided entanglement configuration.
